Giovanni Trapattoni (Player 1959-1972)
Defender - With two European Cups and an Intercontinental Cup to his name, the silverware that Giovanni Trapattoni collected as a player is nothing to be bashful about. All the more impressive then, that the trophies the AC Milan man went on to win as a manager utterly dwarf what he won as a player.Clubs: AC Milan, AS Varese
Born: March 17, 1939 (Milan, Italy)
Caps: 17 (1 goal)

Javier Urruticoechea (Player 1973-1987)
Goalkeeper - Javier Urruticoechea was a regular in goal for FC Barcelona in the mid 1980's. His shot at eternal glory came in 1986.
